In relation to the various appointments, the practice was to communicate, usually through the Cabinet of the Ministry of Economic Development, with the Parliament member of my political party from the geographical area of the territory related to the appointment that had to be made. I do not rule out having communicated regarding the appointment in question with Hon. Teresa Manzo, but at this moment I do not have a precise memory of it; I have made many similar appointments... #Corruzione #Giustizia #M5s (translated)

Heather Parisi questioned the representations of China spread on X as a dictatorship that violates citizens' rights and wondered if those promoting it had visited the country. She argued that about a billion people had risen out of poverty in China over the past thirty years and described the five-year plans as operational tools where universities and private businesses collaborated on goals set by the government. Parisi stated that, in her opinion, there were no similar mechanisms in the West and that in China public administrators who did not achieve the required results could lose their jobs, with consequences for future appointments and career prospects. She also cited the case of Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, arguing that the state had imposed a $2.8 billion fine on him and three years of oversight for monopolistic practices. According to Parisi, in China the accumulation of wealth transformed into power contrary to the public interest was stopped, while in the West Peter Thiel bought elections and George Soros funded others. She concluded by inviting people to visit China and talk to its residents to understand whether they were truly unhappy and if they would choose to live in the democratic West. #Cina #DirittiUmani #Economia (translated)

Wow, the Democratic Party is in array. Remarkably arrayed. You all can see that, right? One Democrat out of array, and it’s met with widespread objection, as figures across the coalition speak up, and the party’s heavy hitters go stand with the nominee. What a good sign heading into the election.
